We don't need to tell people But usually when people say not to mention something, it's because it's a secret So if it was a secret why would you wanna do it again?
( But he's overthinking this when he should be putting more effort into being sensible about making his quota. This month hasn't been great for him, and ... well. Reggie's better than a complete stranger, at the very least? )
You know what, it doesn't matter
I'm cool if you wanna do quota stuff We don't have to talk about it
[ Reggie types for a while, but no explanations he could give are things he wants to say, or would even think of to say -- "Because I've learned more about myself since I said that" or "Because I'm not ready for it to not be a secret" or even "Because I'm trying not to have complicated feelings for other people, so branching out couldn't hurt, right?" No, all that's still too emotionally intelligent and self-aware for him to be capable of yet, sorry.
It's a little tempting to just leave the message on read altogether, since Peter seems like someone who will eventually still want to talk about it, but Reggie actually wouldn't mind seeing him again. Or talking, even, maybe, but just... not yet. He just settles on typing "why do u think" and lets that sit for a while, before deleting that too. ]
